  1. There are consumer cards that can do that on Windows 10 with the Amermine custom drivers. Presenting to you the Visiontek HD 4670 X2 QUAD: Techpowerup page: https://www.techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/visiontek-hd-4670-x2-quad.b148 And it does indeed have 4x Dual-DVI ports as confirmed in this article: https://www.legitreviews.com/visiontek-announces-an-ati-radeon-hd-4670-x2-quad-dvi-graphics-card_8763 There is also the Visiontek HD 2600 XT X2 QUAD: Techpowerup page: https://www.techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/radeon-hd-2600-xt-x2.c1005 Good luck finding one.
  2. I will just sit back and enjoy my 5700X. I don't see a reason to be hyped about this or anything else in the PC space at this time.
  3. You probably have a defective component, it could be the CPU, the RAM itself or the motherboard.
  4. Or people will buy GPUs less frequently. Gaming and PC building are two different hobbies. There is overlap but with the current prices of GPUs the Playstation 5 and XBOX Series X look very tempting for gaming. At the current state of the market and economy - A lot of people don't have money to buy GPUs at such prices. So if you are used to buying (based on your income) 50 class cards at $150, 60 class cards for $200, 70 class cards for $400-$500, and flagship cards at $700 so a lot of people can't afford an upgrade at this market. If for example you have a GTX 1060, GTX 1660 or a RTX 2070 - What viable options do you have for an upgrade? - None, absolutely nothing - Everything on the market is pretty much overpriced side-grades. If those are the options that consumers have - The consumer will prefer to not buy anything or wait until there is something that is worth upgrading to. That is not sustainable, This will result in people buying GPUs less frequently or ditching PC gaming for consoles. Looking at the 2022 figures it does seem the case, GPU sales dropped significantly and the market is shrinking, In NVIDIA's mind increasing prices for those who still buy GPUs at this market will compensate for dropped revenue. But in reality that in itself is causing GPU sales to drop and the market to shrink even more. NVIDIA seems to forget how capitalist markets work, Capitalist markets always adjust themselves in accordance to the fair value of the product, and what goes up or down will eventually normalize to it's fair value. If the fair value is $0 - It will normalize to $0, if the fair value is $100 - It will normalize to $100. A great example for that is NFTs - The market value of the product was artificially set, give it enough time and it will normalize to it's fair value - And that's how the market value of NFTs crashed. While NVIDIA and AMD have a lot of control over the GPU market, if they scare away customers from buying their products with aggressive pricing they will loose money. I expect NVIDIA's revenue in 2023 to drop from 2022 if they continue to go through with their plans.
  5. I started building PCs at a time when flagship GPUs were $500 max. The HD 5870, GTX 480, HD 6970, GTX 580 all of those flagship GPUs were at a MSRP of $500 or less. Every year NVIDIA and AMD kept increasing the MSRP of their lineups. AMD: HD 5870 - $399 HD 6970 - $369 HD 7970 - $549 R9 290X - $549 R9 Fury X - $649 RADEON VII - $699 RX 6900 XT - $999 RX 6950 XT - $1099 RX 7900 XTX - $999 NVIDIA: GTX 285 - $359 GTX 480 - $499 GTX 580 - $499 GTX 680 - $499 GTX 780 - $649 GTX 780 Ti - $699 GTX 980 - $549 GTX 980 Ti - $649 GTX 1080 - $599 GTX 1080 Ti - $699 TITAN V - $2,999 RTX 2080 Ti - $999 TITAN RTX - $2,499 RTX 3090 - $1,499 RTX 3090 Ti - $1,999 RTX 4090 - $1,599 * I excluded the GTX TITAN, TITAN X and the TITAN X Pascal because the 80 Ti class cards of those generations offered equivalent performance or better for lower price rendering them irrelevant, Newer TITANs are different since they offer a significant increase in performance over the 80 Ti class of their generation. * Vega 64 and Polaris are excluded because those cards were far behind NVIDIA's flagships at the time and didn't compete with them not in price nor in performance. * Dual GPU cards are not included because they are significantly more expensive to produce due to the 2 GPU dies, so they are not comparable to single GPU cards when it comes to price. Also there is this: I wonder where those margins came from... - The price hikes + partially at the expense of AIBs profits. And now that AIBs have less than 10% profit margins - I am not surprised that AIBs can't hit MSRP prices. NVIDIA's current strategy is not sustainable, not for consumers, nor for AIBs - If they continue like that it will blow up in their face. Products staying on shelves, partners quitting, shrinking of the market, loss of revenue and more... And AMD following in NVIDIA's footsteps will inherit some if not all of those things.
  6. You will be fine without the two fans on the top: You could also do this with 4 fans:
  7. Then use the English (Europe) in the Windows settings just like in my screenshot: It will have the European regional format so you won't have to deal with the American/Imperial one which as a European i find frustrating to use.
  8. According to this video air flow doesn't matter as well... Blower fans have a lot of static pressure so it has a chance with restricted intake, In addition to that it exhausts the heat through the back of the card to outside the case. As for the CPU, the 212 EVO was a big cooler back then and was enough to cool pretty much any quad core of that era, So soaking heat without being overloaded was doable back then. Good luck doing that with the amount of power and heat of current day CPUs.
  9. The new pads are too thick, i am pretty sure it's the wrong thickness and possibly the cause of your boot failure and WHEAs.
  10. Could be the wrong kind of pad (maybe the thickness is wrong), or mounting pressure issues of the VRMs heatsinks.
  11. The cables blocking the intake of the GPU are a problem.
  12. I started viewing LTT in late 2013 - same year the forums went online, It took me 6 years to open an account but late is better than never The forums are great, great community with a lot of knowledgeable and helpful people, and the conversations are interesting and fun - one of the best online communities ever! (said in a true early 2010s tone ) In 2011 when i started building PCs Linus Tech Tips was not that popular (Worldwide at least), But as i said before late is better than never At the time (2011) i built a PC with the following specs: CPU: Intel Core i3 2100 RAM: 4GB+2GB Kingston ValueRAM D3N9 1333MHz CL9 GPU: SAPPHIRE RADEON HD 6750 1GB GDDR5 CPU cooler: Some Zalman flower cooler Optical drive: Some cheap and slow one from LG. Case + PSU combo: 3Cott Mid 2017 + NEOTEC 500W (Cheap crap i ordered from Russia) The case i had: Playing Battlefield 3, Batman Arkham City, NFS Hot Pursuit... - I was having a blast.
  13. Doesn't mean anything especially since one manufacturer can limit the "4090" to 80W while another can limit the "4080" to 130W. That's just NVIDIA being clowns. Anyway there is something useful in this announcement: 4090 laptop die = 4080 Desktop die 4080 laptop die = 4070 desktop die? 4070 laptop die = 4060 desktop die? 4060 laptop die = 4050 desktop die? 4050 laptop die = 4030 desktop die?
  14. I have two machines with 8GB of RAM running Windows 7 and have no issues with that. I can open lots of tabs with no issues... The issue is Windows 10.
  15. What about LTX Asia or LTX Middle East, LTX World Tour would be even better Seriously guys, LTT is in Canada and it's a lot easier to organize such an event in the place you are established, Not to mention that LTT is a business and the amount of time, personnel and resources required for making LTX happen in the US or anywhere else is not viable.
  16. It just enables the monitoring of 0.1% and and 1% lows in the the MSI Afterburner OSD, Play a game and see what the 0.1% and 1% lows are - If they are bad then that is that source of your issue.
  17. Maybe this will be useful: This Address: Redirects to: Instead of redirecting to: You just need to clean out all the junk in the address that is being outputted and rename the attachment to: Just like in:
  18. Wrong, that depends on the workload. The sub-timings are important as well. That's bad, I bought a Micron Rev.E 3200MHz CL16 2x8 kit and overclocked it to 4200MHz CL16 1.5V... It can probably go higher with higher voltage.
  19. The drivers for sound card work just fine, It's just the ATi HDMI Audio drivers that give me issues. But the thing is that i want to use the HDMI Audio...
  20. Long story short - When i install the HDMI Audio drivers of my GPU it corrupts the Windows Volume Mixer which basically forces me to reinstall the operating system. So do you guys have a solution for me?, All other drivers are sorted out.
  21. Just because it's new it doesn't mean that the input lag of the monitor isn't crazy high. What is the make and model of the monitor? And what about the 0.1% and 1% lows?, can you enable it in the Afterburner OSD?
  22. Some people use their smartphones as MP3 players.
